New York fuzz rock solo artist Matt C. White unveils new single »Ursa«; available now on all major streaming platforms!

Brooklyn, New York based fuzz rock solo artist Matt C. White is back with his new single »Ursa«, out today through White Locust Records.

Listen to »Ursa« on Spotify and all major streaming platforms!

Born and raised along the banks of the Neuse River in North Carolina, Matt C. White is no stranger to the folklore of the Deep South that animates his songwriting. His musical style is groove driven, fuzz wrapped, backwoods Tom Foolery touched by dark, psychedelic, southern soul.

Brooklyn fuzz lord Matt C. White returns with his new single »Ursa«, a hypnotic psych-rock slow burn steeped in spring reverb, tape echo, motorik pulse, and towering fuzzed-out guitars. Beginning in a sparse, trance-like churn before collapsing into a dense and chaotic climax, the track draws equally from classic psychedelia, krautrock repetition, garage rock grit, and stoner-fuzz weight.

The track channels the expansive psychedelia of King Gizzard, The Black Angels, Slift, and Hawkwind while retaining White’s distinctly Southern, fuzz-drenched sound. Packed with layered guitar harmonies and cinematic momentum, »Ursa« serves as both the emotional climax and final descent of »The Flood«’s conceptual arc.

White explains, “»Ursa« is kinda the finale of the whole flood experience. I wanted to pull influence from every other song on the record, but really make it this sort of driving fever-dream car-chase soundtrack. It’s based loosely around the story (one of the oldest in human history) of »Ursa« the great bear running from four hunters through the nightsky.”

Following »A Cosmic Year« – described by The Big Takeover as “rock music that unites the past with the present and points to a healthy future for the genre” – »The Flood« finds Matt C. White expanding his palette, drawing from psych, dub, and driving rhythmic forms to shape a more fluid and expansive approach. Like previous releases, White performs every instrument and vocal himself, assembling densely layered arrangements that balances chaos, melody, and momentum.
